Techniques de randonée équestre de compétition

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TREC , also called orienteering, is a discipline in equestrian sport that has developed from training to become a trail riding guide in France . Hence the French abbreviation, which stands for "Techniques de Randonnée Equestre de Compétition" . The competition consists of 3 sub-tests: POR, MA and PTV.

The regulations are drawn up by the Fédération Internationale de Tourisme Equestre (FITE).

POR - parcours d'orientation et de régularité

This is a map and compass orientation ride that's about accuracy, not speed. Depending on the performance class , a distance between 20 km and 40 km has to be ridden. The route is given on a topographic map . Before the ride, each participant must copy the route into a copy of the map section within a maximum of 20 minutes. On the route, control posts are set up at places unknown to the participants , which document the time and direction of the arrival of each rider. A specified speed should be maintained as precisely as possible between two control posts. There are point deductions for riding too fast as well as for riding too slow. There are also point deductions for checkpoints not ridden or ridden on the wrong route.

MA - maîtrise des allures

This is a gait test with two scores. A distance of 150 m must be covered at a fast pace and a slow canter .

PTV - parcours en terrain varié

This is a test on a course that contains a selection of obstacles and skill tasks that are based on safe off-road riding. There are different jumping obstacles, crossing water, backward pointing and the like.

Orientation driving

Orientation driving, or TREC attelé, is the variant of Trec monté for teams . The driver, the passengers and the horses are tested in typical terrain situations. Orientation driving includes two sub-tests: an orientation drive with speed limits (POR) and an off-road drive (PTV) with obstacles.
